I just wanted to know if you were happy, that's all. If you could give me a sign, a hint, some faint promise that you are doing just fine, then maybe I'd be satisfied with your absence. Maybe I could believe that it's for the best.
Look me in the eyes and tell me that you're content, stop smiling like you're being held hostage. I'd never seen such a gloomy wedding. You looked like you were stepping forward to your execution.
Tell me that she is everything you've dreamed of and more. That she evokes your heart's deepest desires and heals the wounds you'd hidden for as long as you could remember. Wounds you never dared to show me. Promise me that you've never looked back, never regretted your cowardice, never for a moment doubted your sincerity, never mistook fear for passion, nor pain for connection.
Tell me that you've never missed me, not for one single moment. No song has ever reminded you of me. You've never heard a joke you wished you could share with the only girl so dead inside, she could never be offended.
Tell me if you're still listening, just so I can hear your voice again. The echoes of fading memories don't do it any justice. Tell me it was all in my head, you never loved me at all, not even for a minute.
